The Cracked Log Lamp might be a descriptive and apt name for the furniture piece, but it lacks the romanticism that can be found in its design. As though glowing from within through the cracks it's named after, there is a magical element to the lighting that will make people think of fantastical stories and creatures alike.
Designed by artist Duncan Meerdin, the Cracked Log Lamp is inspired by more than just nature. He shares, "Being legally blind, this vision of light emanating from the peripheries and the highly tactile nature of my work reflect the alternative sensory world within which I design." Perfect for any setting both indoors and out, the Cracked Log Lamp is fitted with LED lights.
